You deserve the best!

My Seventeen Second Miracle today was being at the gas station as a young mother coasted her fuel-less Honda SUV to a stop alongside our Eagle Talon. She definitely needed help getting the next twenty feet to the pump and there I was with cane in hand........ Nope, she would not allow me to push, but she, my wife, Cleo, and a bruiser of another guy joined hands pushing the Honda as I "drove" the powerless vehicle safely to the pump for her fuel. So cool! We all were able to participate in the miracle of helping one another succeed. Then I let her know she had just received her Seventeed Second Miracle of the day and encouraged her to read the book by that title. She was so pumped, I believe she may in fact do so.

Now it is to you Rachel. You are in line to be able to pass miracles of encouragement to others. I KNOW by GOD I would never have been at that fuel pump, able to organize help for her to get into position for fuel had I not received the MIRACLE of my Boston Scientific Precision Plus SCS. Opportunity for you to gain life anew is possible and I pray awaiting you.

Remembering how hard it was for me to "give up" the test leads and return to the PAIN I understand how you will feel as you await your date in line. May you be able to manage and cope with your pain in the meantime.

Prayin for YOU,
Mark56z


Thanks very much Mark!! Glad you were able to help the lady today
Will let you know when I get my date through. Hope things continue to be good for you xx

Hi Mark and everyone,
How are you all. Sorry I have been missing for a while, I have been studying hard at Uni and struggling with my foot and the pain. I'm so tired, just want to sleep but not getting much of that!
I finally have my operation date it's Saturday 4th February. I'm so glad it's finally come but also, getting a bit nervous now!
How are you all?
Rachel xx

Oh YAYY! We missed you and this is great news Rachel!
I'm sorry, tho, that you've had to struggle with this pain while trying to study at the university. Hopefully you're going to see such a difference with your unit that you wouldn't have even believed it possible!

Thanks for the update and please keep us posted!

Rae

Doin great! I still get major flares and back spasms, like most of us, but all in all I'm very thankful for my SCS. When I turn it off to charge (to cut down on charging time) I am vividly reminded of how well this thing really works.....the horrible burning pain comes right back
In a way, it's kinda creepy knowing that this pain is just right around the corner.....it's not gone. These tiny leads/electrodes are what seperate the pain and my sanity

I'm glad it has allowed you that separation and it's been so successful for you! I'm pretty sure I'm having the unit where you can't recharge it, it has to be replaced every few years. I'm getting a bit nervous about it but am really hoping that it will give me some relief and maybe I will be able to cut down on my medications a bit. Only another week to go...
Great to make contact with you again
Rachel xx

Heart Even So
You will take that miracle and feel such a glow
with pain yielding even unto your control
this God gift, a pleasure to share once again
to reach out and feel whole every now and then
No, I can't slalom down slopes fast as once did
but blessed by this miracle I am working again
and it feels to good to be plying my trade
and helping my clients with problems of late
just knowing you near this, it seems jubilee
is just 'round the corner, my friend, may it be!!

Lots of Hugs and Prayers for you dear friend,
Mark56

Default Me too!
Hi Rachael. I'm starting my trial just 5 days before you. I am nervous as well. My biggest fear is that it may not work.

I'm one of the lucky few that hasn't taken opiates for pain. We are trying the stem before it gets that far. I've had no accidents or anything like that but osteoarthritis got me. It has just been a gradual increase in pain and degeneration of my spine over the years. Yes, I am a degenerate.

Good luck and God bless.
